早期和中期石器时代的人类遗骸和相关的考古文物散落在非洲南部的各个地点，表明这个地理区域是解剖学上现代人类的第一个住所之一。尽管该地区的狩猎采集文化可以追溯到远古时代，但在过去2000年里，非洲南部的人口在很大程度上被三次主要的迁徙所重塑。这些迁徙导致了该地区人口中四个不同祖先（狩猎采集者、东非牧民、说班图语的农民和欧亚人）的融合。在这篇综述中，我们总结了最近对班图语人口向南部非洲迁移的时间表和路线的改进以及他们与居住在南部非洲的Khoe-San人口的混合的见解。我们强调了最近的两项研究，为一些东南班图语群体中出现的精细人口结构提供了证据。我们还强调了全基因组测序研究（当前和古代），这些研究既增强了我们对南部非洲人类的理解，又证明了在该地区人群中发现新变体的巨大潜力。最后，我们确定了我们理解中的一些主要差距和不一致之处，并强调了对来自不同民族语言群体和地理位置的南部非洲人口进行更系统研究的重要性。
The presence of Early and Middle Stone Age human remains and associated archeological artifacts from various sites scattered across southern Africa, suggests this geographic region to be one of the first abodes of anatomically modern humans. Although the presence of hunter-gatherer cultures in this region dates back to deep times, the peopling of southern Africa has largely been reshaped by three major sets of migrations over the last 2000 years. These migrations have led to a confluence of four distinct ancestries (San hunter-gatherer, East-African pastoralist, Bantu-speaker farmer and Eurasian) in populations from this region. In this review, we have summarized the recent insights into the refinement of timelines and routes of the migration of Bantu-speaking populations to southern Africa and their admixture with resident southern African Khoe-San populations. We highlight two recent studies providing evidence for the emergence of fine-scale population structure within some South-Eastern Bantu-speaker groups. We also accentuate whole genome sequencing studies (current and ancient) that have both enhanced our understanding of the peopling of southern Africa and demonstrated a huge potential for novel variant discovery in populations from this region. Finally, we identify some of the major gaps and inconsistencies in our understanding and emphasize the importance of more systematic studies of southern African populations from diverse ethnolinguistic groups and geographic locations.
